The Menendez brothers’ fight for freedom took a dramatic turn as their attorney Mark Geragos blasted the justice system with a fiery claim. During a recent hearing, he argued that if his clients were women, they’d already be free. The brothers, convicted of brutally murdering their parents in 1989, were resentenced to 50 years to life but now have a shot at parole.
Geragos didn’t hold back, accusing the courts of punishing men more harshly than women. He painted the brothers as victims of a broken system that favors female criminals. Prosecutors fought to keep them locked up, saying they still haven’t fully owned up to their crimes. But the judge sided with Geragos, calling the prosecution’s arguments irrelevant.
Family members flooded the courtroom, begging for mercy. Cousins described the brothers as “changed men” who mentor fellow inmates and help the elderly. One relative sobbed that time is running out for aging family members to reunite with them. Even a retired judge testified the brothers changed his mind about rehabilitation.
Prosecutors tried to sink their chances by revealing the brothers smuggled cellphones in prison. They called it proof the Menendez men can’t follow rules. But Geragos shot back that minor infractions shouldn’t erase decades of good behavior. He accused the DA’s office of bias against his clients from day one.
The judge’s ruling shows how far left-wing policies have infected California’s courts. Soft-on-crime radicals like former DA George Gascón paved the way for killers to walk free early. This resentencing proves the system cares more about coddling criminals than justice for victims.
If these were liberal darlings instead of conservative sons, the media would celebrate their release. Imagine the headlines if two wealthy women claimed abuse after butchering their parents. They’d be on magazine covers as “survivors,” not inmates. But these brothers get no such grace from the woke mob.
Law and order is dead in blue states like California. While honest Americans work hard, violent criminals cut deals and game the system. The Menendez case isn’t about justice—it’s about politics. This resentencing sends a dangerous message that even the most brutal crimes can be forgiven if you spin the right story.
Conservatives know the truth. Real accountability matters. Victims’ families deserve better than seeing killers walk free because some lawyer plays the gender card. The Menendez brothers made their choices. Now they should live with the consequences—no special treatment for rich boys turned murderers.
